Completion of the Genome Sequence of <i>Brucella abortus</i> and Comparison to the Highly Similar Genomes of <i>Brucella melitensis</i> and <i>Brucella suis</i>
1 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Brucellosis is a worldwide disease of humans and livestock that is caused by a number of very closely related classical Brucella species in the alpha-2 subdivision of the Proteobacteria. We report the complete genome sequence of Brucella abortus field isolate 9-941 and compare it to those of Brucella suis 1330 and Brucella melitensis 16 M. The genomes of these Brucella species are strikingly similar, with nearly...
